He ain't wrong, Y'all heard I've been following 6 close this season and monitored what their fans talking about. I'm not worried about them at all. They just don't have what it takes to compete vs this team. Just not enough firepower and depth, now if we start breaking down style of play it'll surprise some skeptical fans here too. Go check our half court offense/defense and put that in context ( if you can without any bs ).
Miami coming around, they showing glimpse of a team from last year. I'd love to see how we match up vs them. They have no bigs after Bam, can the play small ball vs us, I really want to see that shoot out.

- Zion’s first NBA game in NYC.
Wow, I hadn't realized it'll be Zion's first game in NYC. Very cool.
But ya know according to the pundits, this will be one of those tree-falls-in-the-forest deals. If it's not the GaAaAaHdIiIiN, did it even happen?

Kyrie | Harris | TLC (yuck) | Brown | Green
I think you're right, in predicting that Nash will go with this type of lineup in heavy doses tonight. I also think that it's the only potential way that an otherwise boat race of a game could turn into an unnecessarily tight game down the stretch.
Not all smallball lineups are created equally. Normally, you surrender some rebounding and physicality with a smallball lineup, in exchange for increased 3 point accuracy and play making. Well, when we go small, we don't lose all of our toughness, but the game sure gets sloppy AF, and we don't even see the spike in accuracy from long range. New Orleans is a much worse team than us, even with Brooklyn facing several significant injuries tonight. But if the Pelicans can destroy us on the boards and we cough up 15 or more turnovers while chasing the smallball dragon, we could F around and lose this game.
I don't Stan for any of our big bodies, but we're going to need them tonight. Trading 3 for 2 is not the end-all-be-all, and forcing that issue has led to some abysmal shooting nights. Anyway, we don't need to manufacture matchup opportunities to get good looks from beyond the arc. The Pelicans are practically giving them away!

We need to keep winning till Harden comes back.
We will be fine. The KD/Kyrie lineups have a better net rating than the Harden/Kyrie or the Harden alone lineups.
There were early season struggles but it definitely wasn't due to KD and Kyrie. I expect a few bumps as we integrate KD back in but I believe in the coaching staff to ultimately work it out.

I can't believe I forgot about Durant after I said he was coming back tonight.
That should be a bannable offense.

I don't mind it. If you're gonna shave minutes off anywhere, the first is the place to do it. As long we don't start giving up a big lead I'd have him sit the entire frame.

Trying to watch on my computer's browser like I usually do and its such a **** pain in the ass right now. Tried on Chrome and Firefox and Yes doesn't work on either. Funny thing is that Foxsportsgo worked fine on my browser, but the mobile app sucked. Now its the opposite.

Blatant block, guy moved into Green obviously. Should have been a no call if anything, but if you’re gonna call a foul, it’s a block.
Good challenge by Nash. Would love to see the explanation if he loses this.

pretty early for a challenge. 3 points is 3 points though. that was an easy win.
